Many thought China's rise would fundamentally remake the global order. Yet, much like other developing nations, the Chinese state now finds itself in a status quo characterized by free trade and American domination. Through a cutting-edge historical, sociological, and political analysis, Ho-fung Hung details the competing interests and economic realities that temper the dream of Chinese supremacy-forces that are stymieing growth throughout the global South. Hung focuses on four common misconceptions: that China could undermine orthodoxy by offering an alternative model of growth; that China is radically altering power relations between the East and the West; that China is capable of diminishing the global power of the United States; and that the Chinese economy would restore the world's wealth after the 2008 financial crisis. His work reveals how much China depends on the existing order and how the interests of the Chinese elites maintain these ties. Through its perpetuation of the dollar standard and its addiction to U.S. Treasury bonds, China remains bound to the terms of its own prosperity, and its economic practices of exploiting debt bubbles are destined to fail. Hung ultimately warns of a post miracle China that will grow increasingly assertive in attitude while remaining constrained in capability.

Le pouvoir en Chine est-il si centralisé et tout-puissant ? Quel est le rôle de la propagande ? La lutte contre la corruption est-elle une illusion ? Que signifie la fin de la politique de l'enfant unique ? Pourquoi la censure se renforce-t-elle ? Que pèse la dette chinoise ? L'APL est-elle vraiment la deuxième armée du monde ? Quelles sont ses ambitions maritimes ? La Chine est-elle une puissance nucléaire responsable ? En quelques décennies, la Chine est devenue la deuxième puissance économique mondiale. L'ampleur de son marché, ses échanges, mais aussi ses choix stratégiques régionaux ou environnementaux, orientent l'avenir du monde. Pourtant, le ralentissement de la croissance économique constaté depuis 2015 a entraîné un brutal retour de balancier. Après avoir été encensé comme le " sauveur " de nos économies en crise, le modèle chinois se trouve soudain remis en cause. En 100 questions/réponses, Valérie Niquet dresse un tableau contrasté et parfois inquiétant de la puissance économique, culturelle, démographique, militaire que représente la Chine aujourd'hui. Elle éclaire le fonctionnement du système chinois et analyse la réalité d'un pays, objet d'une fascination sans recul. Avec ses promesses, ses signes de faiblesse et ses failles inéluctables

The Great Divergence brings new insight to one of the classic questions of history: Why did sustained industrial growth begin in Northwest Europe, despite surprising similarities between advanced areas of Europe and East Asia? As Ken Pomeranz shows, as recently as 1750, parallels between these two parts of the world were very high in life expectancy, consumption, product and factor markets, and the strategies of households. Perhaps most surprisingly, Pomeranz demonstrates that the Chinese and Japanese cores were no worse off ecologically than Western Europe. Core areas throughout the eighteenth-century Old World faced comparable local shortages of land-intensive products, shortages that were only partly resolved by trade.Pomeranz argues that Europe's nineteenth-century divergence from the Old World owes much to the fortunate location of coal, which substituted for timber. This made Europe's failure to use its land intensively much less of a problem, while allowing growth in energy-intensive industries. Another crucial difference that he notes has to do with trade. Fortuitous global conjunctures made the Americas a greater source of needed primary products for Europe than any Asian periphery. This allowed Northwest Europe to grow dramatically in population, specialize further in manufactures, and remove labor from the land, using increased imports rather than maximizing yields. Together, coal and the New World allowed Europe to grow along resource-intensive, labor-saving paths.Meanwhile, Asia hit a cul-de-sac. Although the East Asian hinterlands boomed after 1750, both in population and in manufacturing, this growth prevented these peripheral regions from exporting vital resources to the cloth-producing Yangzi Delta. As a result, growth in the core of East Asia's economy essentially stopped, and what growth did exist was forced along labor-intensive, resource-saving paths--paths Europe could have been forced down, too, had it not been for favorable resource stocks from underground and overseas.
